Freedom Lecture: Didier Eribon

Child of a working-class family and the first of them to enter higher education, Didier Eribon in his work often refers to the complicated relationship with his roots and family. In one of his books, Retour à Reims, he grasps the discrepancy between his past and present life in different social classes and the (in)compatibility of these parts of his identity. During the Freedom Lecture, Eribon will share his views on the constellation of social class, sexual identity and freedom. France has a long history of social class distinction, the aftermath of which still to a large degree determines one’s freedom and opportunities. Didier Eribon fits in the wider tradition of prominent French intellectuals who address this theme (semi) autobiographically, like Annie Ernaux, Pierre Bourdieu and, more recently, Édouard Louis.
